I have never diluted the gerber juice. I do dilute if I am out and have only reg apple juice. It's 99% water with just a splash of regular. I still do that with my 2 year because she refuses to drink plain water.

Our dr is completely against juice unless constipated. She thinks water is best at this age.

I only give juice on occasion and when I do it is 1 oz juice 4 oz water.

I still dilute my 3 yr olds juice. She only gets a diluted glass every couple days. Otherwise she generally drinks water or milk. Once in a great while she gets a treat which is a Capri sun or something.

Jeez, she isn't feeding her baby wine in a sippy cup!! Get off your high horses. What I would do is look at the calories, grams of sugar, and percentage that is juice in the container. I buy Mott's for Tots juice and give her small amounts without diluting it bc it's already 60/40 water/juice.

I'm anti "high horse" as well but my ped also said no juice if possible. We followed it with my first until about 18 months now he gets 4 oz of a fruit/vegetable juice about once a week. Will try to follow this with LO but it is so much harder with second baby...just like no TV til two?!? Easy with first, not so much with second!

Until they reach a year, breastmilk or formula should be all they drink.

@mcgeelisha Only asking because my ped said that we can start juice. I understand people are against it. But others may not be. Just was wondering if the people that use gerber juice dilate it. I was a nanny to a now 13yr old. I dilated his juice all the time. I had him from age 1-5.

Uh I'm not on a high horse I'm just diabetic? I don't see juice as a necessary thing in general.
